California Bar Now Investigating Orly Taitz
California Bar Now Investigating Orly Taitz
Justin Elliott | March 19, 2010, 9:41AM


The State Bar of California is investigating Orly Taitz, a process that could ultimately result in the Birther attorney's disbarment, Taitz and her lawyer confirmed to TPMmuckraker.

The investigation was prompted at least in part by a sanction for professional misconduct against Taitz in a Birther case in federal court in Georgia. Taitz continues to fight the $20,000 fine, which was imposed on her for making frivolous filings.

The bar's options for disciplinary action range from private reproval to disbarment. The latter punishment usually comes in cases in which attorneys "have a history of misconduct" or in which they have "committed a very serious violation, such as perjury or stealing client funds," according to the bar's Web site.

When Clay Land, the judge in the Georgia case, imposed the fine on Taitz in October, he also directed that a copy of his scathing 43-page order be sent to the California bar "for whatever use it deems appropriate."

The bar has asked Taitz to respond to Land's sanction, Taitz told TPMmuckraker in an email.

4. California used to be the toughest state in the nation to pass the bar exam.
Along with New York.

Guess this is just another instance in which Calfornia standards have decayed and degraded.

8. I don't know that she's stupid, but she does sound delusional.
Maybe some medical intervention is in order? :shrug:

9. Maybe she should be examined for competency?
It would work as well for me if she were found incompetent. Doesn't have to be disbarment.

13. Investigate, California, Investigate!
Make sure she is the same person who took the bar! She's a nut big enough to be using someone else's card!

They ought to check the fingerprints.

And go into her files, there are probably plenty of cases of incompetence to be found there.

15. She went to an online law school. Unaccredited.
She probably had someone take the exam for her.
